Sensor in front of air box?

[Hey_You]

I was wondering if I needed to keep the sensor in front of the air box, I don't have a picture of it and I can't find one anywhere. I have an 85 318i if that helps. The sensor is on the boot going from the plastic shroud behind the driver side healamp to the front of the airbox. Any help would be much appreciated.

that is an intake air temp sensor, you should leave it there

Oh, okay, thanks. The idea of ripping it out crossed my mind. See what happens when I think? Good thing you helped to stop one of me retard (said like on The Hangover) moments.
